Looks better maybe? Marketplace brokers indicated that their dealers would require me to pay out of pocket for the lease buyout ( a couple thousand). Discount wise looks good.
Ideally you should be driving your search, knowing your target and making offers, not reacting to them. Either way, whether you are making offers or countering, you should just communicate “this DAS and this payment” and let them figure out what to put on each line item.
Wheels no, got my father an XC60 back in June about 4-5mo ago w/the 20’s and the ride is definitely a bit harsher. HK only if you are a true audiophile, while the system is definitely great not to mention the Gothenburg Concert Hall mode the standard sound system is actually pretty good imo.
I haven’t been in a 23 but the non-HK/non-BW in the 19 xc60 was nicer than the HK in my Outback Limited. You must have an audio track that will decide for you? I have 2-3 I play on any test drive.
100% supply chain management / shortages. Absolutely worth it in my book, otherwise get an S60 T8 and EV tax credit, save $$
Cannot judge Defender itself but must say the base sound system in my 21’ S60 sounds much better than the standard system in a lot of cars that I’ve had both euro and Japanese.
varies and depends who your lease was with previously. I’ve had from 1 - 9 days.
By “mention”… if you’ve got no (positive or negative) equity you’re rolling into the next car, then it could just be a separate transaction.
